The closest i come to watching Hockey is watching the 3 Mighty Ducks movies when they get shown. I've never been much of a Hockey fan i prefer baseball and auto racing.

Growing up in Canada you grow up around hockey. We used to have ice rinks in our backyard and we would play all the time. Most people I know have a favorite hockey team and watch the games from time to time. Hockey is our national sport. We absolutly love hockey up here.

That's what sucks about Florida. Tampa isn't a hockey town. When the Bucs won the Superbowl, there were weeks of cheering the streets. There was hours of news coverage after the Superbowl and they had nothing to say except that the stadium was not open and you should stay off Dale Mabry. For hours this went on. If the Lightning were to ever win the Stanley Cup, we may get a few more minutes on the news.

Tampa... Bay!

Post by Benji »

:D :lol: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING ROCK!!! :lol: :D

You may not know this, but I've been waiting 11 years for us to do this well, and it is finally our time (Don't tell Sports Illustrated. They said that we were the bottom of the barrel at the start of the season. We showed them, though!).

8) I'm so elated! :lol: We're doing great! :D We're doing great! Na-na-na-na boo-boo! :P

Oh, and happy Earth Day.

My team was horrible this year and I blame Curtis Joseph for most of it. The Oilers are out and so is Toronto so if Vancouver makes it I'll cheer for them because they are Canadian otherwise I don't know who to cheer for. I won't cheer for Ottawa because they suck.

Where I live and pretty much everywhere in Canada it's hockey. We used to have a backyard rink. Everything revolves around hockey.

New Jersey fans are so rude. The players had class and clapped for Giggy winning the trophy, but the fans booed. How classless. New Jersey hoovers. If I were Von Mossenhoven, Stewart, or one of the other referres in the Tampa-Jersey series, I'd be ashamed. They manipulated the game so Jersey would win. We didn't have a chance. Perhaps we would still have lost, but we didn't have a fair chance. Jersey may not have even made it to the Stanley Cup Finals. That's all I have to say about that.

The New Jersey Devils suck. I hate how they play hockey and I can't stand their fans. THey are so incredibly rude. I am from Dallas, and watching them play the Stars in the finals was hell mainly because of those fans and their whole approach to the game.

I don't know what exactly it is about the Devils, but they have a nasty habit of just being rude in general. They play by the rules in the game, but they play dirty. They have won the Stanely Cup by playing dirty before. Well now they won the cup again playing dirty.

Steinbrenner always gets his way and I don't like him. When the Devils were playing in Tampa, he came to a game. Somebody in front of his box was yelling at the Devils and he had that person threatened to be booted.
